Normally this shouldn't be needed, because 'git clean -xdf' is
executed after updating the git repository and before starting
the build; however, some RPM builds (notably libvirt's)
internally use git to apply patches, and if one of those fails
it will leave a git repository inside of build/ behind, which
'git clean' dutifully refuses to remove and whose presence
will in turn cause 'mkdir build', and thus the entire build,
to fail.
Solve the issue by forcefully removing build/ ourselves before
starting an autotools build.
